Hi! I’m Jennifer!! I’m 19 years old and have been working with and caring for dogs for the past 14 years. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and what started as helping with our own pets quickly grew into a true passion. I’ve been doing Rover since I was 12 years old, gaining years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. I’ve also volunteered at a local animal shelter, where I worked closely with dogs who needed extra patience, structure, and love. Between long-term dog ownership, daily walks, basic training, boarding, drop-ins, and shelter work, I’m very confident handling everything from high-energy puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra care. I’m officially taking over this account from my mom and am now the primary caregiver and main point of contact. I handle all bookings, communication, and pet care. My 17-year-old sister occasionally helps me out, and she has been doing Rover and pet sitting just as long as I have. She loves animals just as much as I do and is a wonderful extra set of hands, but I am fully in charge and your pet’s care and communication will always go through me. We live on a spacious 1/3-acre lot with a fully fenced backyard that gives dogs plenty of room to safely run, explore, and play. Our home is very dog-friendly and set up to help visiting pups feel comfortable, secure, and part of the family. We recently lost our 11-year-old rescue who was truly my best friend, and that experience deepened my understanding of just how special the bond with a dog is. We also have the sweetest Blue Heeler, adopted about three years ago, who absolutely loves making new dog friends and enjoys walks, playtime, and lots of interaction. When your dog stays with me, they’ll be treated like family. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your best friend, and I take that responsibility seriously. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup! 🐾
